Madden 13: EA Sports' Improved Game Face App Creates Awesome Gamer Likenesses

The EA Game Face app is nothing new, but this year the improvements are rendering awesomely accurate likenesses. 

For those that aren't familiar with this, here's a brief description from EA Sports:

"

Ever wanted to play as yourself in EA SPORTS games? Set up your EA SPORTS 3D Avatar in just minutes - upload a photograph of yourself and let our system generate a unique digital version of your face.

Once completed, you can use your 3D likeness across EA SPORTS web destinations or download it into your favorite games as a playable character!

"

Madden has recently been added to the list of EA games that support the Game Face app. As an example, a user on the Operation Sports forums decided to use the application to make Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.

I'd say they both came out pretty accurate.

While the app is marketed as a way to put yourself in the game, gamers with a ton of ingenuity will use the feature to create players EA didn't include in the game itself.

No Bo Jackson, no problem. Bring up a clear picture from the internet and let the Game Face app create an accurate render of the former Raiders star. You would, of course, still have to handle his personal details, equipment and ratings, but it could make for an interesting Connected Careers experience.

This type of app is definitely reserved for the more hardcore gamer, like myself, but it can definitely add some enjoyment to your experience.
